Stress Management & Emotional Wellbeing

What are the Signs and Symptoms of Stress

Stress Management is more necessary than ever due to Britain now having the longest working hours in Europe together with very little job security. When this is combined with juggling a busy home/personal life and meeting expensive living costs it isn’t surprising that people can feel overwhelmed and stressed. If continuous levels of stress hormones are released in the bloodstream, and then are not effectively broken down, long-term this can lead to an increased risk of developing certain health problems.

Stress occurs when a person perceives that they cannot cope with the pressure or demands being made of them. This is generally when the pressure is too great or has been going on too long without any break, resulting in exhaustion. Stress is also known to lower our immunity.

The symptoms of stress are psychological, emotional, physical and behavioural. A change in behaviour is often the most obvious initially, but by then the stress has generally been going on for months or possibly a year.
